grapes are among the world most planted horticultural crops. since the last century, attempts have been made to improve the quality of grapes in the world. meanwhile, the necessity of having knowledge about the history of progenies families led to the link between genealogy and breeding. considering some previous mislabeling, in order to find out the accuracy of the controlled crosses as well a...

Aliphatic glucosinolates are the predominant sulfur-rich plant secondary metabolites in economically important Brassica crops. Glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products are involved in plant-microbe, plant-insect, plant-animal, and plant-human interactions. It is, therefore, important to manipulate glucosinolate profiles and contents in Brassica species. In this study, aliphatic glucosinolat...

URING 1937 some abnormal chicks appeared among the progenies of two D different breeding pens of our experimental flock of fowls. These chicks showed a close outward resemblance to specimens of the dominant rumpless variation and its intermediate modifications (DUNN 1925; LANDAUER and DUNN 1925; LANDAUER 1928). The simultaneous occurrence of a number of such rumpless birds suggested that we wer...

Pre-selection for fruit skin color at the seedling stage would be highly advantageous, with marker-assisted selection offering a potential method for apple pre-selection. A and MdMYB1 alleles are allele-specific DNA markers that are potentially associated with apple skin color, and co-segregate with the Rf and Rni loci, respectively. Here, we assessed the potential application of these 2 allele...

Tea (Camellia sinensis L. [O.] Kuntze) is a highly cross-pollinated and self-incompatible plant. Seeds can be harvested from specific individual mother plants in polyclonal tea gardens. Whether the pollen donor plays an important role seed formation remains unclear. This study aimed to identify male parents of 72 natural hybridized progenies (F1) one female parent on basis putative allele by us...

The KK mouse is considered suitable as a polygenic model for human non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance in KK mice, linkage analysis using 97 microsatellite markers was carried out in a 192 F2 progeny, comprising 93 mice with the a/a genotype at the agouti locus (chromosome 2) and 99 ...
